Allyship Is a Zero-Sum Game

Misconception: The mistaken belief exists that promoting diversity and supporting marginalized groups means taking opportunities away from others. Reality: Allyship and diversity initiatives are about creating equal opportunities, not redistributing them. When the playing field is leveled, everyone benefits from the diverse perspectives and talents brought to the table. Addressing It: Demonstrate with real examples how diverse teams enhance creativity, decision-making, and problem-solving. Show that inclusion expands opportunities rather than redistributing them.
